...eighty years hence as a planet wholly civilized, gathered into one state, its trade perfected, its people lavishly provided with every necessity and every imaginable means of happiness, well ordered and well governed, none can gainsay him. If, in the course of showing the process by which this Utopia is achieved, he predicts devastating wars for the 1940's, complete breakdown of all trade in the sixties, the consequent reduction of all peoples to a semi-savage state, and the rescue of the populations from this distress by aviators and technicians, who, like the Hanseatic merchants, rule by control...

Nobody questioned their patriotism or their sincerity. They served without...

The echo of Freudian concepts matched the echo of marital concepts preached by neglected Benjamin Barr Lindsey, one-time Judge of Denver's Juvenile Court. Long has peppery, little Judge Lindsey trooped up & down the country with a marital Utopia under his arm and at the end of his tongue, wrangling with churchmen and standpatters, touching off a conflagration of protest. One of Judge Lindsey's pet anathemas has been what he calls "bootleg divorce," i. e. divorce by amicable agreement but fixed up to look as though one party...
